If he's not the best RS option for Aces, who would you pick? Not sure, I have never watched a NDL meeting. Looking at the Championship stats: Sam Hagon GSA 5.18 CMA 5.82 Jake Mulford GSA 4.10 CMA 5.15 And NDL: Sam Hagon GSA 11.47 CMA 11.47 Jake Mulford GSA 8.14 CMA 8.28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagon already rides for Leicester, you'd have to compare Mulford to Joe Thompson, Nathan Ablitt etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be that way, can't expect the fans to settle for 3 riders races when someone is injured. No different from the Champ really, Hagon got extra rides when Foord was injured.

szkocjasid Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 (edited) Comments by Peter Schroeck after the match (from British Speedway website) “It’s very deflating to come here with a 16-point lead and not take away the aggregate point". What did he think would happen when he weakened the team? “We didn’t really lose it in Heat 13 or 15, you know what can happen in those races around here with Belle Vue have their big guns out. “We lost the aggregate point in other races where we should have scored more. Then why did he weaken his reserve pairing if he knew he needed points outwith heats 13&15? "It could prove costly at the end of the season and we need to make up for it elsewhere.” That actually sounds like he wants the team to do well & make the play-offs. Based on his team changes I honestly wasn't sure! Edited July 23 by szkocjasid 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is of course very true but I wonder how often a Medical Officer has refused to sign out a rider who is claiming they are unfit to ride?

But I can think of a couple of examples where the medical officer has declared visiting riders unfit and the away team has screamed BIAS Edited July 24 by arnieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number 7 (whomever that may be) is protected in heat 8, not rising stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
